Answer to Problem 1DP

The commonly used materials for the production of containers are listed below;

  1. 1. Glass
  2. 2. Aluminum
  3. 3. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE)

The advantages and disadvantages of these materials are explained below:

Explanation of Solution

Glass:

Advantages:

  • Glass is an inexpensive material and it is readily available.
  • It is chemically non-reactive material.
  • It is the transparent material that gives a good appearance.
  • The recycling process of glass does not require much energy.
  • Increased and rapid production of recycled glass result in more usage and thereby reducing the pollutant emission.

Disadvantages:

  • Glass is a non-bio degradable material.
  • Sorting of salvaged glass takes more time and is an expensive process that reduces its market value.

Aluminum:

Advantages:

  • Aluminum is a non-corrosive material compared to ferrous materials.
  • Aluminum is easily available material.
  • It has the capacity to withstand higher temperatures.
  • Low energy is required to recycle the aluminum containers.

Disadvantages:

  • They are non-refillable.
  • Aluminum is the non-bio degradable material.
  • It promotes the chemical reaction between the packed material and container. Tin coatings are provided to stop the chemical reaction.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE):

Advantages:

  • They possess good optical clarity.
  • It is the light-weighted material compared to the others.
  • It is a shatter-proof material.
  • The PET containers are easy to manufacture (blow molding).
  • It is chemically non-reactive material.

Disadvantages:

  • They are non-refillable.
  • PETs are the non-biodegradable materials.

For this question you will perform two levels of quicksort on an array containing these numbers: 59 41 61 73 43 57 50 13 96 88 42 77 27 95 32 89 In the first blank, enter the array contents after the top level partition. In the second blank, enter the array contents after one more partition of the left-hand subarray resulting from the first partition. In the third blank, enter the array contents after one more partition of the right-hand subarray resulting from the first partition. Print the numbers with a single space between them. Use the algorithm we covered in class, in which the first element of the subarray is the partition value.   Question 1 options: Blank # 1   Blank # 2   Blank # 3
